Harold R. Hawkey ’32
Hal died Jan. 9, 2001, after a very brief illness in Medina, Wash., where he had moved from Montclair, N.J., just a year ago to be near family. He lived most of his 89 years within less than an hour's drive from Princeton. He was a member of the first crew team Princeton ever sent to the Henley Regatta in 1931. He was a member of Dial Lodge. In 1935 he graduated from Columbia law school.
For 55 years, Hal was manager and attorney for the Employers' Assn. of North Jersey, retiring three weeks before moving to Washington. (He said the only thing he disliked about the move was that he was now unemployed.)
Hal and Marion, his wife of 64 years, traveled extensively for pleasure but always had time for their beloved Truro, Cape Cod, where they had a summer residence for 45 years. Hal was an avid golfer and a longtime member of the Montclair Golf Club.
Surviving are Marion, a son, G. Michael Hawkey '63, a daughter, Marianne Langenbach, and five grandchildren.
